BOTTLE AND sToPPER THEREFOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 642,951, dated February 6, 1900. Application filed September l 1899. Serial No. 730,542. (No model.)

To a/ZZ whom t may concern/.-

Be it known that we, GUIsEPPE BENTI- VEGNA and ROXIE LEROY, citizens of the United States, residing at Hartford, inthe 5 countyof Hartford and State of Connecticut,

have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bottles and Stoppers Therefor, of which the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to improvements in lo bottles and Stoppers therefor; and the main object of our invention is the provision of a bottle provided with a stopper which allows the contents thereof to be poured or dropped out as desired.

Another object of our invention is the provision of a bottle and stopper therefor which is very simple and inexpensive and also very useful and practical.

To attain the desired objects of our inven- 2o tion, it consists of a bottle and stopper therefor embodying novel features of construction and arrangement of parts substantially as disclosed herein.

In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective z5 view of a bottle having a stopper, both of which are constructed in accordance with our invention. Fig. 2 is avertical sectional View of the neck of a bottle with the stopper in position, and Fig. 3 is a cross-section through 3o the bottle-neck and stopper.

Referring to the drawings, A designates a bottle provided with the neck B, which has formed integral therewith the lip or spout C and has also the vent-opening D, which is formed inthe body of the neck at the rein forcement or boss E.

Adapted to fit in the neck of the bottle is the stopper F, which is formed With the iinger portion G and the plug or body portion 4o H, and formed in the sides of this body portion are the elongated depressions J, which are arranged in pairs, one opposite its mate upon the other side of the stopper and so arranged that one of the pair is registering with the spout, while the other one is registering with the ventopening. These depressions may be made different depths, the ones that are adapted to register with the spout being the deepest. From this description the operation and use of our improved bottle and stopper therefor is readily understood and its many advantages fully appreciated; but, briefly stated, it is as follows:

As the depressions are upon the four sides of the stopper, two being higher than the remaining two, and also as the spout and ventopening are upon opposite sides of the neck, one below the other, it will be seen that when the stopper is moved so as to present the upper edge of the desired depression to the spout the opposite depression is opposite the ventopening, and as the depressions each have the shallow channel or groove K the air enters the vent and through the depression and enters the bottle, thus allowing the liquid therein to enter the depression opposite the spout through its channel and cause the liquid to pass from the spout a drop at a time, thus allowing different-sized doses of medicine to be removed from the bottle in a very careful manner.

Thus it will he seen that we provide aver'y simple and cheap bottle and stoppertherefor which is very useful and practical.

In combination with a bottle havingavent and a spout carried by the neck thereof, of

a stopper provided with two pairs of different-sized depressions or recesses, each of said depressions having a channel or groove leading therefrom to the lower edge of the stopper, one of said depressions being adapted to register with the spout while its opposite depression registers with the vent.

In testimony whereof we affix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
